He could have played more matches for Team India but injury put an end to his career and he had to retire. But one of his statements is much discussed in this IPL season. Former Indian cricketer Atul Wasan has criticized the increasing trend of IPL franchises appointing foreign coaches. Suddenly this thing started because the poor performance of some IPL teams this season has started a debate about the value of key foreign coaching staff. The list of criticism also includes Delhi Capitals, which has secured the services of Australian legend Ricky Ponting as head coach despite the limited success of the franchise in 16 IPL seasons. When Vasan was asked about the coaching setup of Delhi, he had a lot to say, he gave a statement to India News that, “This is injustice to Delhi, what is Ricky Ponting doing in the dugout, is he just sitting there? Are? They are paying a lot of money to foreign coaches, so what is the use of them here in IPL?” What is the role of Ricky Ponting?: Atul Wasan He has also questioned the role of foreign experts appointed by franchises. “Apart from the coaches, no one is talking about what is the role of the foreign experts they bring into their setup. By doing this are you trying to look stronger in the dugout than your team on the field? “In the 16-year-long history of the IPL, DC has reached the final only once in 2020.” Echoing Wason’s views, star Indian batsman Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma also said, “I agree with Atul, IPL teams love to appoint foreign coaches, but what are they getting out of all this “ What do you think, should foreign coaches be appointed in IPL or not?
IPL 2024: “Our staff was getting injured because of Jaiswal” – Sanju made a big allegation on his own star batsman!
The upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season is going to start in just a day and fans are eagerly waiting for the tournament to start. Meanwhile, before the start of the tournament, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has given a funny statement about his teammate and explosive opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. Sanju claimed that the young batsman has injured many players of the support staff with his batting in the nets. Jaiswal performed brilliantly for RR in IPL 2023 and scored more than 600 runs. Due to his performance, he got a chance to debut for the Indian team, there also he continued his excellent performance in Tests. In the recently concluded Test series, the left-hander was awarded the Player of the Series and has been in great form at the moment. Meanwhile, while talking to Star Sports, Samson cheekily revealed how Jaiswal is hurting the team’s throwdown specialist in practice. Our staff was getting injured because of Yashasvi Jaiswal – Sanju Samson Samson jokingly said, ‘There are four Sardarjis in our camp. One name is cut, one is pull, one is flick and one is drive. The one whose name is cut is only a cut marigold plant. The one whose name is Pul teaches only Pul. The shoulders of all four got dislocated due to Jaiswal. He was in the hospital and now he has made a comeback. I think it was not the players but our staff who were getting injured. Sanju Samson also talked about his batting. He said, “I always wanted to stand out because of my batting. Even if it was the first ball, I wanted to hit a six on it. That was the shift in my mind. I wanted to do something different. Why should I wait for 10 balls to hit a six? This was the reason behind my power hitting. He further said, ‘I worked very hard during Covid. Many people helped me. I was very happy with the way things turned out. The grind continued. I was very satisfied. I just keep trying.”
‘Unless the support staff or players respect you, it is difficult to get that loyalty’ MS Dhoni’s big statement on leadership
It’s really about what you are doing, not about what you are saying – Dhoni MS Dhoni (Image Credit- Twitter X) Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni), who is counted among the most successful captains of the world and is called the finishing master, has given a big statement regarding leadership skills. It is noteworthy that under the captaincy of Dhoni, the Indian cricket team achieved many big achievements. Under Dhoni’s captaincy, India has won two World Cups (T20 World Cup 2007, Cricket World Cup 2011) and ICC Champions Trophy 2013. Apart from this, under the captaincy of Dhoni, the Indian team became the number 1 team in Test cricket for the first time. So on the field, Dhoni is known for his skill and cool mind. In the cricket fraternity, people know Dhoni as Captain Cool. On the other hand, Dhoni has given a big statement regarding leadership in an event organized by Single.ID. MS Dhoni gave a big statement Let us tell you that in this event, according to a news of News 18, Dhoni said – Loyalty has a lot to do with something like respect. When you talk about the dressing room, unless the support staff or the players respect you, it is difficult to get that loyalty. It’s really about what you’re doing, not what you’re saying. Even if you don’t say anything, your behavior can get you that respect. Dhoni further said- I think it is very important to earn respect because it does not come with a chair or any position. It comes with your behavior. People feel unsafe many times. Sometimes the team believes in you, but you will be the first one who doesn’t believe in yourself. In simple words, don’t try to get respect, rather earn it. Because it is quite natural. Once you have that loyalty, performance will follow. 5 players who made the biggest scores in ODI cricket for Sri Lanka Five best innings played by Indian captains in Under-19 World Cup 4 Indian bowlers who became number 1 bowler in test cricket List of batsmen who remained not out most number of times in IPL Top 4 Indian bowlers who took 150 wickets in least number of test matches List of foreign players earning big from IPL 2024 5 bowlers who have dismissed Joe Root the most number of times in Test cricket Fast bowlers who have taken more than 150 wickets for India in Test cricket Which player has scored the most runs for his franchise, see the complete list Top-5 bowlers who took most wickets against India in test format
